Many people, especially in the United States see people from another country and somehow connect them, or think that they are all the same. The fact is that there are many different cultures and at times they may resemble one another, yet are different. For my research today I will discuss the people of India and Pakistan. People of India and Pakistan seem as though they are very similar. Think about it, we all think that they have the same religion, being Muslim and Hindu. They have the same diet, mostly vegetarian. The both of them are from an area that is remotely close, so what is the big deal of saying that they are the same? Well, actually there is a big deal. For one Poland and Italy are close on the map, and an Italian person would not want be mistaken for being Polish, and Polish people would not want to be called Italians. But that is not the only reasons, many would argue that the Partition (the splitting of India by the British at the time of Independence), is the cause for the mutual differences, I too would agree that this is a good place to start, as far as what happened to cause this turmoil. The question has also been asked prior to my research, why India has a great democracy, while Pakistan is a “basket case”. I found many similarities within the two, such as they started at the exact same time, August 14, 1947. The two of them inherited British civil service architecture, a local government system, and a British railroad system for communication and transportation. Also they both had a strong political class, due to the struggle for independence from Great Britain. Both countries were a combination of semi-autonomous regions with a number of spoken languages....

The CulturalDifferencesBetween France and China
OVERVIEW
With the development of the technology and the economic, more and more Chinese are studying at France. More or less we have known something about France when I was in China. But discover the differencesbetween France and China through book is unilateral. The best way to explore the culturaldifferences is to experience them and compare them by your own. After came to France for almost three months, I’ve explored many culturaldifferencesbetween this two countries. So let’s see what are these differences I have found.
The Differences on NAMEs
The first difference I found is that in France, people’s first name comes first, followed by their family name. While in China it is on the contrary, our family name should be in front of people’s first. I think the difference is because French people are more focus on themselves, they are more focus on individuals. Chinese people...

INTRODUCTION
Communication is culture bound. The way the individual communicates emanates from his or her culture. Of course, a person may know more than one culture or may be competent in a combination of cultures. Nonetheless, one basic truth prevails: communication is a product of culture.
The culturaldifferences are not only differences in pronunciation or grammar, but also they involve the form of getting the message across, speech intonation and even paralinguistic features.
It is very important for everyone to know the peculiarities of different cultures of the world-wide community, since in the discourse with their representatives, such knowledge is indispensable. Being a good and intelligent interlocutor in such kind of discourse means to be aware of all the differences in culture and traditions. In this way the person is able to avoid any misunderstandings or the possibility to unintentionally...

...CulturalDifferencesbetweenIndia and Canada
Would people from different cultures have similar ways of living? While Canada is considered to be a recent civilization, India is an ancient one. Therefore, both countries have different cultures and ways of living. Some major culturaldifferences people tend to contrast between cultures are their food, clothing and life styles.
The food in both of the countries is very different. People in India prefer home cooked meals prepared by their mothers or wives. Indian food has many spices which make it very flavourful. In many parts of this country, people are vegetarian due to religious preferences. In India, there are many dishes for different occasions and festivals. In different parts of this country, there are diverse cuisines according to each religion and culture. Indians live to eat, and enjoy their food very much with their families. In contrast, Canadian people prefer fast food, frozen food, and canned food. Since Canadians have busy scheduled lives, they prefer foods that are easy to put together. The Canadian population is widely multicultural. Therefore, a lot of foods in Canada, such as pizza, tacos and nachos, have been adopted from other countries. Canadians prefer cuisine that is mild in taste with few distinct flavours.

...﻿CULTURALDIFFERENCESBETWEEN THE UK AND INDIA
IS INDIA SUITABLE TO OUTSOURCE TO?
PROS
‘India has become the offshore outsourcing capital of the world.’ Reasons behind this include:
Employee’s attitudes towards their career are more weighted towards work life than family life hence their productivity should be greater if they are putting more effort in. Indians work for longer hours in comparison to Americans, for an average of 10-12 hours a day, which does seem impressive however they take longer lunch and coffee breaks. This also means the factory will have to be kept open and running longer, increasing costs. A longer working day may also decrease production as workers get tired from the long day and therefore become less efficient.
In addition to this, Indians are not very timely people and tend not to keep to deadlines which means offshoring could be unreliable as transporting the manufactured goods to the UK could be delayed at short notice.
The hierarchy system in India is also very different to that of the UK; the relationship between bosses and subordinates is more informal in the UK and more ranked in India. As a result of this Indian employees tend not to have a clear idea of their role in the company and so efficiency may not be maximised. Due to their different approach to timings and deadlines, meetings can often be cancelled...

...THE PARTITION OF INDIA, 1947
On the 14 August 1947, the new Islamic Republic of Pakistan was formed. At midnight the next day India won its freedom from colonial rule, ending nearly 350 years of British presence in India. The British left India divided in two. The two countries were founded on the basis of religion, with Pakistan as an Islamic state and India as a secular one. The partition split the Indian subcontinent in 2 well 3 really counting what is now Bangladesh on religious lines.
The bare details of 1947 and its legacy are blunt. The territorial partition that created modern India and Pakistan involved the internal division of Punjab and Bengal provinces, which - in unimaginable conditions of collapse of authority, flight, and massacre - resulted in the forced movement of 20 million people (Hindus and Sikhs to India and Muslims to Pakistan) and approximately 1.5 million deaths.
Muslims in India under British rule did not want to be part of a Hindu dominated India after Independence. To cut a very long story short they concluded that the North West part of India where Muslims were the majority would become a separate country (along with the area that is now Bangladesh) this country became Pakistan.

...The Freedom of Pakistan and India
Plan of the Investigation:
In this essay, I chose to further investigate the freedom of Pakistan and India. On August 14, 1947, there was the birth of the new Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The very next day India had won its freedom from colonial rule lasting three hundred fifty years.
The partition of India, following World War II, is the most tragic political event to affect India in its history. The partition divided Hindus and Muslims, who had lived together for nearly three hundred fifty years. It led to endless boundary disputes, three wars between the two neighbors, a nuclear powered arms race, and state-sponsored terrorism.
Summary of Evidence:
The freedom movements started when the Englishman Allan Hume helped a group of Indians start the Indian National Congress in 1885, which didn’t compete with British power. In the early 1900s, Bal Gangadhar Tilak brought a new faction within it, whose aim was independence. The Indian National Congress also had socialist impacts.
In 1906, a big split occurred and the few Muslim that’s were in the Indian National Congress left, and a group called the Muslim League was formed. There are three main reasons that the Muslim nationalist movement emerged later than the Hindu movement. The first one is because the Muslims had their own religious schools and did not...
